Either or, they both go hand in hand. You cannot get into the program if you don’t get accepted by the school and the sport partner. You might want to check with the sport partner prior to writing the entrance exam.

A Sport-Études program is a provincial program that is governed by the
Ministère de l’Éducation et de l’Enseignement supérieur (MEES), the provincial federation and the school board. An agreement (protocole d’entente) is signed between the federation and the school board. Rules are set by the federation: which athletes are eligible, which clubs (or associations or coaches) are recognized, how many hours of training are necessary, etc.

A sport concentration program is a local program that is governed by an agreement between the school and a local club (or association or coach). Rules are set by the club (or association or coach): which athletes are eligible, how many hours of training are done, etc.

Morning PED support starts at 7:30. Regular classes start at 8:10 and end at 12:00. Students, depending on their sport and training schedule, then have lunch or leave for their training. Some can attend
PED support from 12:55 to 1:45, then leave.

Each club (or association or coach) has their own selection
criteria. Our Sport-Études partners have to follow the criteria
set by the provincial federation. Our sport concentration
partners set their own criteria. You should check with your club
(or association or coach) of interest.

Pedagogical (PED) support is a measure that is put in place
to help our students cope with the academic demands of
Sport-Études. There are a number of teachers available from 7:30
to 8:00 in the morning and from 12:55 to 1:45 in the afternoon
to help students, answer questions, catch up after an absence or
take a test that was missed during an absence. Students can
choose to attend PED support sporadically or can be asked by a
teacher to attend (24hr warning will be given). Students who
stay for PED support have to leave school grounds by 2:00.

Not within the Sport-Études structure. Since Sport-Études is
aimed at high level athletes, it is unlikely that you will find
enough time to do two sports at a high level. You can
participate in a second sport, but it would be done outside the
realm of Sport-Études.

Sport-Études is a closed program. This means that our
classes are made up of only Sport-Études and sport concentration
students. Depending on the athlete’s training schedule, students can
participate in lunchtime or after-school activities (student
council, leadership, extra-curricular sports, etc.).

If you are an incoming Secondary I students, you need to
write the standardized Lester B. Pearson School Board enriched
program entrance exam. Students who wrote the entrance exam are
then ranked and we will accept a certain number of candidates, based on their
mark on the exam and their Grade 5 report card. Some will be put
on a waiting list, while others will be turned down.
